| Description |
Traditional pigeonpeas are tall and bushy. which means their mechanized cultivation is difficult or impossible., Development of short-statured, extra-short-duration pigeonpea lines such as, lCPL 83006,)CPL 83015, ICPL 84023, and lCPL 850lO has created the opportunity to make pigeonpea amenable to commercial, mechanized field production. Because the newly developed extra-shart-duration lines are similar in height LO wheal. there is no problem in adopting mechanica1 imercu!lure and insecticide spraying oper;Hions using equipment designed for ceM real crops. However. because of their thick and woody stem, the feasibility of mechanical harvesting and threshing of... |
